Afghan Pedophilia: A way of life, say U.S. soldiers and journalists

Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or 'Boy Play' is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation's mainstream.

Citing the Afghanistan strategy review, Vice President Joe Biden reported "great progress" in the counterterrorism effort that has significantly degraded al-Qaeda and the Taliban, particularly their leadership. Lagging behind, he said, is progress on the counterinsurgency front – eliminating terrorist safe havens in Pakistan and building a stable Afghan government.

  

However, not once did Biden – nor Defense Secretary Leon Panetta -- mention Afghanistan's dirty secret – a large number of pedophiles and pederasts among the Afghan male population.
 

Pedophilia is a widely-accepted practice in southern Afghanistan, where "boys are given to older men for the sexual gratification of the elder and the sexual education of the child," say many returning U.S. troops.
 

 

Afghans say pedophilia is most prevalent among Pashtun men in the south who comprise Afghanistan's most important tribe.
 

Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or 'Boy Play' is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation's mainstream.

 

When U.S. officials such as President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta discuss the war in Afghanistan and make claims of success in that fledgling democracy, one issue that's avoided is the widespread sexual intercourse between Afghan men and young boys. In non- diplomatic terms, Afghanistan is a haven for child rape, according to several American military officers just returning from the frontlines of the Global War on Terrorism.

 

In a country that is considered overly repressive due to its adherence to the precepts contained in the Muslim religion's Koran, it's difficult for American service members and diplomats to understand the fact that a large portion of the Afghan male population are pedophiles (adults who enjoy sexual contact with prepubescent children) or pederasts (adults who enjoy sexual relations with pubescent or post-pubescent children).

 

 
While Muslims in Iraq have on several occasions stoned homosexuals for their sexual activities, not all Muslims believe pedophilia is a violation of Sharia law.  Those who believe in the sacredness and infallibility of the Koran adhere to the teaching that women are sub-human and quasi-slaves, and therefore Muslim men will look for relationships -- even sexual relationships -- with others of their own gender.

 

According to Reuters, there is a lot of homosexuality going on in Afghanistan, but those engaging in it don't think of themselves as gay, so that makes it okay since Islam officially disapproves of the gay and lesbian lifestyle.

 

"They regard themselves as non-gay because they don’t “love” the sex object so Allah is happy. These are the men who avoid their wives as unclean. Apparently there is very little love of any kind in Afghanistan, which explains a lot," according to Reuters.

 

“Having a boy has become a custom for us,” Ena Yatullah, a 42-year-old in Baghlan province, told a Reuters reporter. “Whoever wants to show off should have a boy.” [. . .]

 

Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from a perverse interpretation of Islamic law. Women are simply unapproachable. Afghans cannot talk to an unrelated woman until after proposing marriage. Before then, they can't even look at a woman, except perhaps her feet. Otherwise she is covered, head to ankle, according to columnist Joel Brinkley, a professor of journalism at Stanford University, and a former Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for the New York Times.

 

In Kandahar, a city with a population of about 500,000, and other towns, dance parties are a popular -- often weekly -- pastime. Young boys dress up as females, wearing makeup and bells on their feet, and dance for a dozen or more leering middle-aged men who throw money at them and then take them home.

 

A recent State Department report called “dancing boys” a “widespread, culturally sanctioned form of male rape.” If women dressed and behaved in such a way, they would surely be punished by Muslim men.

 

Even after marriage, many men keep their boy-lovers, according to former U.S. military personnel who served in Afghanistan.  That helps explain why women are compelled to wear clothing that hides their faces and bodies and if they "sin" they are stoned to death in accordance with Islamic law. That same law also forbids homosexuality, but the pedophiles explain that it's not homosexuality since they aren’t in love with their boys only fulfilling a bodily need.

 

Paradoxically, the Taliban frown on sexual relations between men and boys and enforce Sharia law to the letter. Are the followers of Islam, who adopt a more "liberal" approach to practicing their religion, perhaps responsible for the widespread rape of male children in Afghanistan?
So, why are American military forces fighting and dying to protect pedophiles and pederasts in a country considered by many to be the pedophilia capital of Asia?

 

Why is there hesitation on the part of Obama, Clinton, Panetta and others to discuss the widespread sexual assault of male children in Afghanistan? Could it be that it is politically incorrect to discuss any immoral and unlawful behavior on the part of Muslims? It's quite evident that U.S. politicians may bash Christians without fear of adverse effects on their political careers. But these same leaders will behave as if they are walking on egg shells to avoid even the hint of criticizing Muslims.

 

In addition, there is always a hesitation to discuss man-on-boy sexual relationship for fear of mentioning the obvious: such a relationship is homosexual in nature.

What a bunch of slime!!  The Afgan culture and Islam is absolutely disgusting!!  I hope they all rot in hell!!

[Shane Christiansen]

Do not forget beastyality, I saw a clip from a US snipers night vision watching suspects only to find the two were involved in other activities.

[Twana Blevins]

Shane I've watched some of those videos myself. Nothing surprises me out of islam anymore.

[Cheryl Jensen]

This goes to show why Obama's administration is shoving sex down the throats of our innocent School children in America. Getting them ready for their future with Sharia Law. We all know this is how he was raised and still has his secret boys.

[Robert James Burkholder]

Obama wants America to believe he is a Christian -yet he remains silent in the face of this? The First Century Christians  became known for their  opposition to the immorality of ancient Rome .Indeed  immorality seems common among many  Muslim Countries  -I heard  Yasar Arafat had a thing for young boys -and may have had AIDS when he died? Rumor but  sounds credible. How many young boys  has Barry Soetoro had as President? IMO he is just as wicked as Adolf Hitler was.

[Stephen D. Ford]

These are the REAL Muslims! Mohammad had an 8 yr old wife. Women are filthy in their eyes? This is a religion of LOVE?  I say kill them all! Let allah sort 'em out? Jesus, help us now?

[0iik8rokbl8in]

This report just makes me deathly sick to my stomach!  We all know terrible things are happening to children around the world, but I certainly did not know the extent of it in a muslim country.  This world is becoming so desperately wicked that God is going to have to judge and cleanse it, which He will do someday.

There ought to be an uproar at our government officials about our military having to fight to rebuild a nation that is so perverse in its practices.  We are only helping evil to triumph, and God will hold us as a nation responsible for our involvement in protecting such illicit behavior.

Leave it up those subhuman caricatures to profane creation and the purpose of gender difference by preferring perversion and Sharia Law over decency and the moral order of the universe. Islam is a theocratic, Stone age reality for too many millions of fearfully oppressed people. They are damned if they wish democratic reform as it violates Sharia but if they comply with the stated quasi-slavery of women and the homosexual relationship of man-boy love, they ought to be card carrying members of NAMBLA! What a sick, sick society.filled with evil golems. That Muslim misfit in the White House is encouraging the adaptation of Sharia to the detriment of all that is morally conscionable in this country, Including religious freedom, tolerance, free speech and conventional morality and sexuality as intended by God and nature. He and Islam are a filthy abberation and we need to rid the United States and if possible, the WORLD, of BOTH! This report , as disgusting and true as it is will turn the stomachs of decent law abiding tolerant people in a variety of cultures and Islam should be recognized for what it is in this world, PURE EVIL PERSONIFIED, PARASITICAL PERVERSION PERPETUATED BY LAW AND IMPOSED BY FEAR! For a sitting president to be encouraging this travesty is in my opinion, an act of Treason against this country. Too bad congress is too essentially stupid and self centered to see the veracity of it and fulfill their obligation to the constituencies to protect them from it by removing him. We should be destroying such evil;; NOT PROTECTING IT!

[Felix McDaniel]

Can anyone remember the Clintonian definition of oral sex as not being "sex"?  These Afghan pedophiles have decided that "love" must be present before homosexual acts between two men constitute homosexuality, but lust is okay.  Maybe that is what the ancient Greeks taught the Arab when they rule the Mediterranean and Middle East.   

[Brian A. Rich]

Could it be that no one at any of the colleges Obama allegedly attended can remember any of his girlfriends because all he ever had were boyfriends? That may be why he is obsessed with the promotion of a gay agenda; and also why he has spent millions of dollars to prevent his records from becomng subject to public scrutiny. Just a thought but, IT WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT, WOULDN'T IT? After all, is he not always telling us in spite of his allegedly Christian faith that, The Holy Koran tells us. or The Holy Q'uran says or directs.....But, not to any non-Muslim and not in this country! NOR WILL IT, EVER!
